Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 196,005, dated October9, 1677; application tiled June 26, 1877.

To all whom it may coneern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE GARDNER, of New York city, in the county andState of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inPressed Voodcn Dishes; and I do hereby declare that the tollowing is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same,reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters ofreference marked thereon, which form apart of this specification, and inwhich Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved plate or dish, andFig. 2 is a vertical section of the same.

(hirresponding parts in the two figures are denoted by like letters.

This invention relates to a certain improve ment in plates or dishes,the object of which is to provide a cheap plate or dish for tempo-f raryor other use; and it consists of a plate or dish pressed from one ormore thin pieces of wood, substantially as hereinafter more fully setforth.

In the annexed drawing, A refers to a plate or dish pressed or stampedfrom one or more thin pieces of wood.

This invention furnishes a cheap plate or dish, which, among other uses,is very desirablc for outdoor purposes, such as excursions, pienies, andother temporarv purposes, because of its exceeding cheapness, so that itbroken or lost it can be replaced at a trifling cost. It has also beenfound to be very useful as a pie-plate.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters latent, is-

As anew article of manufacture, a wooden dish or plate composed of oneor more veneers of wood pressed into the desired shape, substantiall asand for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that 1 claim the foregoing; as my own I hereunto aiiix mysignature in presence of two witnesses.
